HS code for Dental X-ray machine: 9022.13

Apparatus based on the use of x-rays, including radiography or radiotherapy apparatus, for dental uses, excluding computed tomography apparatus.

Classification of dental X-ray machine under HS 9022.13

Dental X-ray machines are classified under HS code 9022.13. This classification falls within the broader category of apparatus based on the use of X-rays for medical, surgical, or dental purposes. The specific subheading 9022.13 is reserved for X-ray equipment designed exclusively for dental use, excluding computed tomography (CT) apparatus. These machines work by emitting a controlled beam of X-ray radiation through the patient's oral structures to produce images on film or digital sensors. The classification covers the entire system, including the X-ray generator, the control unit, and the mechanical arm used for positioning. Whether the unit is a wall-mounted intraoral system or a floor-standing panoramic unit, it remains under this code as long as it is dedicated to dental diagnostics and does not utilize CT technology.

Codes often confused with 9022.13

Common mistake. The most frequent misclassification occurs with HS code 9022.12, which is specifically for Computed Tomography (CT) scanners. If a dental machine has 3D imaging/CBCT capabilities, it must be classified under 9022.12 rather than 9022.13. Additionally, general medical X-ray units are classified under 9022.14, which should not be used for specialized dental equipment.

How these figures are built

109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
